2. Define various device-level configuration objects to apply to individual SmartPath APs. These include map, CAPWAP servers,
radio profiles, scheduled configuration audits, RADIUS authentication server settings, and DHCP server or DHCP relay agent
settings.
3. Apply the policy-level settings (contained within a WLAN policy) and device-level settings to one or more SmartPath APs, and
then push the configurations to physical SmartPath AP devices across the network.
LLDP Maximum Power:
To avoid SmartPath APs sending LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) transmissions requesting more power through PoE from the
connecting switch than the switch can provide, you can set a maximum power level that SmartPath APs can request in their LLDP
advertisements on the Configuration > Advanced Configuration > Network Objects > LLDP/CDP Profiles > New page. By default,
the maximum is 15.4 watts.

7.4 Updating Software on SmartPath EMS VMA

You can update the software running on SmartPath EMS VMA from either a local directory on your management system or an
SCP (Secure Copy) server. If you download an image and save it to a local directory, you can load it from there. If you save the
image to an SCP server, you can direct SmartPath EMS VMA to log in and load it from a directory there.

5. Log in to SmartPath EMS VMA and navigate to Home > Administration > SmartPath EMS VMA Operations > Update Software.
